Registration

Please read this page carefully. There are numerous changes to the registration process this year, and this page will walk you through the new form.

You must be a current member of the MSA in order to register for this year's conference. To check your membership status, please contact JHUP customer service at: 1-800-548-1784 or jrnlcirc@press.jhu.edu

MSA membership is not included in the conference registration fee; however, you may now pay for membership and conference fees together using our new "pay together" option.

The conference registration fee includes admission to all conference sessions and special events, receptions, refreshment breaks, and conference materials. Conference-goers who do not register will be charged a penalty of $100 in addition to the full late-registration fees.

N.B.: You may only register online. If you cannot register online, please contact msa12@uvic.ca

Fees (all fees in U.S. Dollars)

Please note: if you attempt to register for the "conference only" option and are not a current member, the web site will give you an error message. If you receive this error message, please pay for your conference fees and membership fees using the "pay together option."

Registration Walk-Through

1. Member NumberPlease have your membership number ready if you would like the web page to auto populate your personal information.

2. Address InformationPlease enter your current address information or verify that the "auto population" from the previous step is correct.

3. Registration RatesPlease choose the appropriate registration rate. You may pay for the conference fee and membership fee at the same time by using the "pay together" option. If you have already paid your membership fees, you may select the "conference only" rate. You will be asked, however, to enter your membership number. If your membership number is not up-to-date, the web site will not let you choose this option. if this happens to you, please choose the "pay together" option or (if you feel this is a mistake) contact JHUP customer service at: 1-800-548-1784 or jrnlcirc@press.jhu.edu

4. Optional Business Lunch: We encourage all members to attend the MSA business lunch. The sit-down lunch is when prizes are awarded and the future of the MSA is discussed. Please join us for this important event.
5. Conference Program Selection: We are asking all members to choose between a paper copy of the conference program and an electronic one in order to save paper at this year's conference. You will notice quite a few green initiatives while attending the conference. If you have a mobile device and would ONLY like to use an electronic program (web page or PDF), please let us know on your registration form. There will be FREE WIRELESS provided in all of the conference rooms & common areas. The online program will be the most up-to-date, and it will feature added content that will not be available through the print version. We will be using information from this question to determine how many programs to print on paper.
